Theory

  • Photo Taking
    • Use Grid option for better Framing and Clean your Equipment for maximum Sharpness
    • Try to apply the Rule of thirds => Place the Object at the intersection of grid lines, on side, Instead of middle
    • Don't cut the object/subject
    • Look for patters or symmetry, pattern light creates from different angles
    • Cover your lens with cloths around it, making it darker to avoid reflections when clicking through glass windows
